i get it’s a legitimate safety thing to some degree and to certain people but have you considered that i cannot leave my place right now which is why i paid 40 dollars you ess dee for taco bell. which was a legitimate safety thing for myself as well, frankly.

and i totally get it: apartments fucking suck ass. i did this job for years. every single apartment design is absolute dogshit minus maybe 2 or 3 i’ve seen in my life between 3 cities. buildings will not be laid out, address wise, sequentially at all so finding anywhere is a fucking nightmare, the roads will be dogshit as well, potholes and speedbumps and i’m just trying to do my job and certain dumb complexes will randomly have some address noumbers on like, the back side of the building facing away from the fucking road for some reason??? why??? insane. just a total fucking hell. yes. i understand. but when i did the job i gritted my teeth and figured it out myself. calling the person is an absolute last resort. it’s a nightmare but frankly also when i gave up and called the person, waiting around and/or trying to get directions from them was just as annoying. bullshit job. we need high speed tubes connecting everywhere in the city.

      Ah, aren’t I an idiot… I was racking my brain trying to work out what an S.D. was, and what OP was calling the delivery driver one of them.

          That’s not a bad rate, but you’re really rolling the dice on which driver you get

        Yeah I was thinking maybe it was some new racist term for “ese”, trying to understand what the “de” was supposed to be. Glad this guy spelled it out.

        I also did not make the connection, after a 12 pack this lovely Friday night. OP is not wrong - even as someone who sometimes dashes for extra cash and hates people just like OP - but was thinking I missed some cultural reference.

      That looks like a classic voice-to-text homophone transcription error… they can get really creative
